  1. Prepared this tonight and it was delish. I left out the celery because mine was too stringy. I used rosemary powder as I didn't have fresh rosemary. We did sprinkle red pepper flakes on before I served it. Excellent recipe and easy to make. I am saving this one and making it again. THANKS!
     
  2. This was pretty good... I omitted the mushrooms (nobody at my table will touch them), but other than that folllowed the recipe pretty close. I used banana peppers from my garden instead of bell pepper. I think bone-in chicken would taste better than the boneless, skinless in this recipe (just my opinion). I served over spaghetti. Thanks for sharing! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders Tag Game.
     
  3. Made for PAC fall 2008. Another baby does great! This is a great dinner and so fast it can be made on a weeknight after a long day at work. I did reduce to 3 chicken breasts and no mushrooms (not allowed). I did keep the sauce the same as we wanted to put the chicken over linguini.. The sauce is very good for a quickie. I think making ahead and letting sit would enhance the flavors even more. I also added 1 extra garlic as we love our garlic. I love the hint of rosemary in this sauce. My kitchen smelled great whilst cooking. Served with fresh made italian bread and a glass of wine. mmm mmmm
